Sixteen-year-old Landon Pembelton won his first career NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division race and Peyton Sellers, the current leader in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series national standings, picked up a win as they each captured a victories at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway on Saturday night.

Pembelton took the lead from Sellers on a restart with four laps to go in the opening 50-lap race and held on the rest of the way to score his first career Late Model Stock Car Division win.

With his win the young Amelia, Virginia resident became the third driver to score his first career Late Model win at South Boston Speedway this season.

“This is a big deal,” Pembelton remarked. “My dad (Brian Pembelton, the 2009 South Boston Speedway Limited Sportsman Division champion) won here at South Boston Speedway. Two generations of our family have won here. It’s a pretty big deal.”

The young racer said it was special racing Sellers for the win.

“This is a big win, racing against Peyton Sellers,” Pembelton remarked. “We raced tooth-and nail, door-to-door. He used me up a little bit and I tried to pinch him as hard as I could. We raced pretty hard to the end.”

Jacob Borst of finished third, with Carter Langley in fourth and Trey Crews in fifth.

The race was an exciting one, with Pembelton and Sellers swapping the lead three times. Pembelton led twice for a total of 47 laps. Sellers, from Ringgold, Virginia, controlled the nightcap in earning his sixth win of the season at South Boston Speedway. He rallied from his seventh starting spot to take the lead from Stuart Crews on the 13th circuit. Once in front, Sellers led the rest of the race. Pembelton, who started eighth, sped past Borst to take second place with five laps to go and finished 1.44 seconds behind Sellers.

Borst finished third with Stuart Crews taking fourth and Trey Crews in fifth.

“It was a really good night,” Sellers said after the win. “Anytime you can go to South Boston Speedway and finish first and second it’s a great night. We lost pretty big in the first race. We were pretty much in left field. H.C. (his brother and crew chief H.C. Sellers) made exactly the right change. When I fired off going into turn one on the first lap, I knew it was going to be a good car.”

Jason Myers Sweeps Limited Sportsman Division Twinbill

Jason Myers enjoyed the biggest night of his racing career, sweeping the night’s twin 25-lap Limited Sportsman Division races.

Myers scored his first career Limited Sportsman Division race win in the opening 25-lap race and backed it up by winning the nightcap. He became the fifth different winner in the division this season with the sweep of the twinbill.

Myers and Ryan Joyner exchanged the lead three times in the opening race with Myers taking the lead for the final time with 11 laps left in the race.

Joyner finished second, one second behind Myers, with J.D. Eversole taking third place. Drew Dawson finished fourth, and Brian Obiedzenski was fifth.

The second 25-lap featured another battle between Myers and Joyner, with Myers getting the upper hand with six laps to go and edging Joyner a second time, this time by a narrow .799-second margin.

Eversole finished third with Dawson and Obiedzenski rounding out the top five.

“I could have never dreamed this,” Myers said with a huge smile. “Four years ago, when I started racing, I wanted to get one win in my career. To get two in one night is really special.”

Nathan Crews Scores Third Win In A Row In The Budweiser Pure Stock Division

Nathan Crews scored his third win in a row and his ninth win in 10 starts this season at South Boston Speedway with his victory in Saturday night’s 30-lap Budweiser Pure Stock Division race.

Crews edged teammate and former division champion Daniel Shelton for the win in his toughest battle of the season to date.

Bruce Mayo finished third, with Randy Hupp fourth and Scott Phillips fifth.

Josh Dawson Wins 15-Lap Budweiser Hornets Division Race

Josh Dawson earned his sixth win of the season Saturday night, driving to victory in the 15-lap Budweiser Hornets Division race.

The victory gives Dawson wins in four of his last five starts. He celebrated his win by asking his girlfriend of four-and-a-half years, Alyssa Spencer, to marry him in front of family, friends, and the South Boston Speedway fans while in Victory Lane. Of course, he got a “yes” from his totally surprised future wife.

“I was trying to do it (propose) on July 3,” Dawson explained. “I didn’t win that one, so I had to hold it off until the next time I won.”

Former division champion Kevin Currin took the runner-up spot, with Andrea Ruotolo third, Dillon Davis fourth and Jared Dawson fifth.
